My 81-year-old mom, who's a widow and has no current photo ID was rejected today when we tried to get her a photo ID card. She's been living in Alberta since 1978 and has no current passport.

She had her birth certificate but because she changed her last name when she got married in 1964, they could not issue her an ID card without her marriage certificate.

We did not know where she may have stashed her marriage certificate since she moved into a senior's residence three years ago and had to downsize a lot of her things.

These new rules are going to disenfranchise a lot of people hoping to vote in the referendum. We need to get the word out. If you are contacting another province for birth or marriage certificates, that will take time.

Luckily for my mom, after searching through an old trunk with multiple albums and brown envelopes, we found the original marriage certificate. We'll be back at the registry in a couple of weeks to try and get that ID card.

This UCP government is pure evil.

“ But unlike other media outlets in Trump's cross-hairs, the BBC did not capitulate, they are standing up to Trump. And also unlike other media outlets, the BBC is *not in the U.S.*, and so, among other things, not under the purview of or beholden to Trump's FCC. Which means that they don't have to worry about their license to broadcast being threatened by Carr.

It was Trump's justice-evading bro Netanyahu, who made Israel a bogeyman to America.
And to escape accountability before Israeli courts Bibi's obviously ready to let Israel go down the drain after sacrificing the lives of countless Israelis & Palestinians.

In a series of posts using A.I. images shared on Sunday, Trump uploaded a fake movie poster showing himself saving George Washington at Mount Rushmore, a mocked-up image of a border wall with Canada and various hints he might run again in 2028.

He is batshit crazy and he is the dictator of the largest 3rd world country in the world.
We need change, we are in extreme danger.

tRump’s admin is moving to scrap a 50-year radiation safety standard that requires keeping exposure as low as possible. Critics warn it will allow higher cancer-causing radiation for workers and the public just to save the nuclear industry money. Anyone surprised?

Anyone voting yes on Blanche MUST go
“Legal experts warn that Todd Blanche’s likely confirmation as attorney general would derail Jeffrey Epstein survivors’ pursuit of justice, with survivors writing to Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn to oppose the nomination over Blanche’s handling of the case as acting attorney general, including releasing survivors’ identifying information while omitting the names of accused abusers and enablers.”

Republican senators have expressed a loss of confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Iran war and a series of high-profile firings, according to a report.

A number of GOP lawmakers told The Hill they found the recent removal of senior figures in the U.S. military “troubling”, and raised concerns about the way the stalling Middle East conflict had become a “quagmire”.

Duhhh...do ya think..🤔

DHS surveilled peaceful protesters and then yanked their Global Entry, federal lawsuit alleges

April Walker, a San Diego resident, was observing federal immigration agents in a Target parking lot in April
when she said they boxed her in and pointed a camera at her face and license plate.

👉 She said she never provided her driver’s license
and the agents only moved their vehicles and allowed her to leave after she called 911.

❌ Five days later, she learned that her Global Entry, which provides expedited TSA screening, had been revoked.

⚠️ It was only reinstated, she said, after she contacted a reporter who then reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to inquire about the revocation.

Walker laid out her story in a federal lawsuit, filed Friday in the Southern District of California,
alleging that agents working for Homeland Security deployed facial recognition technology and license plate information
to surveil people observing and documenting federal immigration enforcement.

Homeland Security then used that information to revoke Global Entry privileges in retaliation, the lawsuit alleges.

“Now more than ever, those of us who have the privilege to speak out have a responsibility to defend the rights of everyone in our communities,”
Walker said in a statement.

🔥“When people are punished for exercising their First Amendment rights,
we begin losing the democratic principles that protect all of us.

Every American should be alarmed by retaliatory action against one’s free speech

“The White House Correspondents’ Disgrace
The WHCA sought to reconvene its annual dinner in celebration of press freedom. Instead, it handed Donald Trump a platform to attack the very journalists the organization exists to represent.”

JUST IMAGINE if Pres. #Biden had insisted the 4 killed in Benghazi™ "didn't count" b/c we were not at war at the time.

#DTBarnum thinks he can wage his war of choice on #Iran forever w/o Congressional Approval if he simply resets the clock every 60 days. And to do that, he had to scrub 4 deaths. 🤬
